The Joy Of Astronomy At Minus Eight In The Snow

That's awfully nice. I wish I could make it even bigger. Colorful, too, all over.
A herd of pigs lives in my Clementine tree. They're fat, brown things with bushy tails.
I see a pale pink thingy, as well as a number of bluish dots. There's a red dot, too ... no, sorry, that's a blip in my monitor. It's a beautiful picture, Dive.
As much as I enjoy the pictures, I think I'd rather be back in a hut, making tea. I made some apple soup tonight, which was surprisingly warming.
What a great shot, David. You should repost this with labels of what's what.
Glad you managed the shot you wanted and that you and Mike had a great time.
Excellent shot!
When I was a kid, my dad used to point out the constellations to us. We lived in the country on a farm, and on a clear night, the sky seemed filled with stars.
We also had pigs, one of which sometimes broke out of the pen and made nests in inconvenient places; so messy, it was just an utter swine about it all :-)
Nice! Last time I really saw the stars when I was out in the desert. You can't see jack here from all the city lights.
Great. We are having the mildest winter ever...
Every morning, I check to see whether the Small Glass Planet vignette pic has been changed from the small, black square. Sadly, it hasn't. Has your explorations of the night stars led you to be sucked into a black hole? If so, the picture is mighty interesting - for a black hole. Or do you find yourself involved with projects at work? Either way, I just hope you are well.
Wonderful!
I'm going to spoil Orion for you now though.

Yes, Peahen, that's a dong. Must be quite a bit warmer up there than we thought, too! ;-)
Dive is having fun on a Friday night with the stars, but is very busy at work, he may shout at me for commenting.
Hope you are all OK… lovely that you still look in here. Hi Peahen, think of you everyday when I look at my lamp…
I know some people look in on my blog (mostly jazz nowadays) as Dive put me a stat counter on.But do not get many comments on there, blogger seems to change things about.
He will return soon I hope even if I have to nag him to put a different photo up!
Thank you, Alifan, I was just thinking of you both and wondering. I know Dive gets tired of blogging from time to time so I'm sure he's enjoying his break even if he's working hard. Nice of you to check in on us.
Yes, thank you, Alifan for the update. And good to hear Dive is doing well, but just busy. And that you are doing well, too.
Knowing Dive is busy with work, I try not to worry the blog, but sometimes concerned that all is OK. Thank you for the update. It's good to know that you both are fine.
Absolutely brilliant!! That's what we see in our summer sky every night!
